Gathering Test of Time owners for an MP!!

[KenThur]

Yep, U read that right.
We are sick & tired of not getting any play time on our investment in the final version of the Classic!

We are NOT going to stand by & let our T of T's collect dust & spill stains anymore. It's too good to waste!

There must be enuf of us that have invested in these latest & greatest version of the classic to get up a decent Multi-Player contest.

Nothing fancy w/ the new scenerios.
Just a good ol' Civ classic MP but with many of the problems & cheats programmed out. Plus alot of new, but not radical enhancements.

Post your prefences here including times available (& time zone).
I'll play almost any setting just to get some use out of the CD. But prefer the usual amoung this crowd...

1x1x
all normal / standard rules & random/default map perhaps no city bribe

Evenings to late night Pacific (GMT+8) time = best for me.

Ought to be fun such to PLAY IT with some of U!

"Hm-m-m, doubt me you will?"

[Guest]

I'll be in this if I can schedule it!
hydey, you too?
And Luk I believe has it?
settings are fine.
The tests that hydey and I did a while back show the AI turns to be very long so I suggest we play no AI's.

Wanted to bump this so few more of the thousands that invested in Test o' Time , mite be able to jump at the chance to actuallyplay some pretty good MP with the best version yet of Civilization.

Post or forever regret how U never got to use it playing other HUMANS.

I played a TOT MP game with Provost Harrison last night... I could be in, it depends on the playing time... I can ask him to join

[Crustacian]

You say TOT is less buggy? Any specifics?

I have it and am interested playing it, but not in existing games.

So maybe for the next Pluel it might be a good go if maps are interchangeable with it, and the others also have it. Any of you have TOT?

[Provost Harrison]

Yeah, I could be up for it!!!

[markusf]

Sure...

I love the customization features in the TOT rules.txt for instance you can set it to never generate huts, amoung other things

[Andz83]

yes, and you can also change the terrain properties, as the food or shield production and then pretend you didn't know about this...

[KenThur]

Well-l-l, Alrighty-y-y then!!
We got some action / interest. Most K, that a few of U have done it & it works. I personally have only played a few turns twice months ago just to see if it worked.

What is the latest & greatest verision / upgrade & where to get... www.microprose.com i assume?

My good times are weekdays 1800 thru early the following morning PacificST (GMT-8).
Perhaps some on weekends, "Pluel" game has priority but anxious to play anything from duel to 5(prefered}.

Let's do! Post times & preferred settings.

[Guest]

I may be able to do this USA Thurs nights - Fridays here in Aussie.

1800 Pacific;
2100 NewYork;
NB This is 1pm Friday afternoon in Aussie Eastern states; can the lawnmower man knock off by then?

Please correct my times finbar. I mean, feel free

This is peak lawnmower season, the lawnmower man works from 7 am to 7pm Fridays at this time of year.

Best times for me are Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday nights from 8:30 onwards (Melbourne times) GMT + 10 I think

well, well....

Provost Harrison and me are European, evenings for you are FRIGGIN' EARLY AM hours for us...

you will have to spend your afternoon leisure time on this if you want us to play

[KenThur]

Damn! If the world was only flat... so we could ALL be on the same time.

Looks like, unfortunately, the best we can hope for is some of the European players along with perhaps some east US players could put something together.

While us west US + some Aussies could do a game?
As i'v said, i'll get up real early or be up late to try to plug in with U Auz guys. Post some times good for U "down under".

Feel free to post & use this thread as a central contact / clearinghouse for gettinga few together.
ANYTHING is better than PLAYING WITH OURSELF's forever.

Throw out some firm times & see if we can't get some paly in.

[Hydey]

KenThur, when I get online (8:30 pm)it will be approx 5:30 am at your place, if we can work something out we can play Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Friday are ok with me
